Did Not Better Himself.

Mr.. Stephen Powers, who has cross
ed the continent four times, once in
weary journey OF six months, remarks
in tsThe Ohio Farmer" that ssthe Unit
ed States Government has extremely
little land left,except such as the poor
est Eastern agriculturist would hardly
accept as q gift, . and cites an item OF
experience showing that conditions OF
life are not always bettered by change
of base:
"a young man, relative Of mine,
had by great industry and economy
saved up a few thousand dollars, and
he went to California to try ranehlng.
He bought and sold here and there,
sampling the soil until he found a
tract in Fresno county which filled
the bilP in every particula water al
ways excepted fertile, cheap, not ma
5larious, in a, good neighborhood. But
there was no way for it but to sink
an artesian well, and he set about it
with characteristic vigor. Hundreds
of dollars he poured down that shaft.
and when at length he reached the
costly liquid, it was alkaline and use
less. He was a ruined man, and was
obliged to go back to telegraphing to
support his family.

One NaY to get rid Of Moths.

If carpets are badly infested they
should be taken up and beaten and
swept thoroughly. Before relaying,
scrub the floor with hot water, getting
plenty of it in seams and crew
ices. Give the floor time to dry, and
then with a feather or small brush
smear kerosene under the base boards
and in the cracks. Place all around
the edges a strip OF tarred paper, or
heavy paper soaked in melted tallow,
either Of which will prevent the insects
from getting underneath the edges,
where the destruction general begins
Il their ravages are just beginning, and
the carpet does not otherwise need
taking up, put a wet cloth over the
spots infested, and press heavily with
very hot IRON The steam thus driv-
en- through the carpet will destroy all
eggs and Larvae. Rural New Yorker.

Some Uses Of an Egg

For burns and scalds nothing is
more soothing than the white of an
egg, which may be poured over the
wound. 1t is softer as varnish than
collodion, and being always at hand,
can be applied. 1t is also more cool
ing than the sweet oil and cotton which
was formerly supposed to be the sur
est application to allay the smartjng
pain.
The egg is considered to be one ofthe
best OF remedies for dysentery. Beat
en- up slightly, with or without sugar,
and swallowed at a gulp, it tends, by
its emollient qualities, to lessen the in
nammation Of the stomach and intes-
tines, and by forming transient coat
ing on these organs, to enable nature
to resume her healthful sway over a
diseased body. Two, or at most three
eggs per. day would be all that is re-
quired in ordinary cases; and since
egg is not merely medicine, but food
as we'll, the lighter the diet otherwise
and the quieter the patient is kept, the
more certain and rapid is the recov-
ery.-Hall's Journal of Health.

The course usually recommended is to

Chronic Diarrhea in a Horse,

Diarrhea is caused by chronic indi-
gestion or by various errors in feeding
chiefly giving water too copiously aft
er feeding and before active work or
rapid driving. In the first case medl-
cine should be given to suit the case,
such as a pint OF raw llnseed oil twice
o week, followed by one-dram doses,
each given daily for a month, OF sui
phate Of iron and powered Peruvian
bark. In the other case the cause is
to be avoided and water always Civ
en- Is minutes before feeding and not
after it. This mistake OF watering
horses soon after feeding Is often very
mischievous, and causes a good deal
OF trouble Of which the origin is not
suspected. The food, not digested,
is washed out of the stomach into the
bowels, and on the movement of these,
caused by work or by being driven on
the road, and softened watery mat
ter is passed quickly out of the intes-
tines. Medicine is obviously useless
in such case.-N. Y. Times.

A Chat About Oatmeal.

No one can live long in a Scotch COM
munity without noticing the health
full look OF the children, whose food
consists largely OF oatmeal, compared
with those fed on fine grains or even
greats, which are the same, only
without the husks. This chaf or
husk, however, which, is left in the
meal, contains some points that act
as stimulant on the coats OF the
bowels to keep them active without
medicine and render this food OF
great benefit to the dyspeptic. There
is no method OF cooking oatmeal
equal to the making OF porridge, and
when properly prepared it is generally
a favorite dish for breakfast. "What
makes your oatmeal porridge so
good?" is a frequent question in
our house from strangers, and they
think the meal must be OF superior
quality. But to prepare it properly
the water must be boiling, necessary
salt added, and the oatmeal then
stirred in slowly sitting it through the
fingers. The process must not be hur-
.ried if Jumps would be avoided. When
it begins to boil up we'll stop stirring
and close the pot tightly. Set at the
back OF the stove while you cook the
rest OF the breakfast. Lift the por-
ridge without any more stirring, as it.
is this that breaks the grain and
makes it waxy. The Scotch do not
stir it with a spoon, but with a
smooth f1attened stick called a 'tspur-
tie, that any one can make according
to their own idea. This gives more
evenness to the mixture, and if cooked
in this way the porridge will be sweet,
wholegrained and wholesome.

tinent. It consists OF inflammation Of
the mucous membranes Of the throat
and lungs and OF the nasal passages
and other parts OF the head, affecting
the eyes severely. Usually it passes
off in two or three weeks with a dis.
charge from the nose In mild cases
there is cough produced by any ex-
ertion; in severe cases the cough is
troublesome. The treatment should
be as follows: Give two drains Of
chlorate OF potassa finely powdered
IN some molassas and little pine tar,
make thick enough to spread on the
teeth and tongue so that it will be
swallowed. This is given morning
and night. Give also one ounce OF
hyposulphite OF soda at noon IN some
cut feed moistened with warm water.
Do not expose the horseto cold winds
or rains, and keep the stable clean
and free from manure. The disease
is contagious, and to prevent any
severe attack Of other animals. give
each one the hyposulphite of soda
daily in some feed. Continue the
above treatment until the disease
disappears. IN. Y. Times.

Bother.
ew York Herald OF Health,

One OF the saddest facts in connec-
ton with the lives of the. people OF
America is that they don't want to
bother" That is. to say, they don't
want to spare time enough for any
thing but oney-making and amuse-
nlent. The house which Nature has
provided is neglected in order to save
enough money to "put into o house"
which has been built with hands.
Sleep is neglected so. that a personal
appearance may De made at some
social gathering. Digestion is disturb
ed because there is no time to be SPAR
ed SO that the machinery OF the body.
may have chance to perform it's
work. Bathing is neglected because,
for lack Of a more forcible reason,
such men and women have lived to
old age without it. s.Too much troub-
lie to bother" when the body does not
cry aloud for attention. When it
does it is too late. The man whose
teeth do not trouble him would look
upon 1t as a prodigal waste of time to
go to a dentist and have them clean
ed. He has brush and powder, and
these suffice, he thinks, for all that is
required. He doesn't know that the
hard substance which forms around
his teeth is tartar and that the teeth
are in danger of permanent injury
when it is permitted to remain. Be.
cause sit is too much trouble to both.

made to grow in beauty, accum,

A Walk with a Tiger.
From the London Court Journal

From the London Court Journal
Only a few months ago, in India, in
certain planting district there was
notorious maneater. Two gentlemen
A and B residing together on an
estate, had lost, besides other EN-
ployees, two chowkebars, or native
watchmen, within a few days, and the
unfortunate men had been actually
carried off out OF the veranda OF the
bungalow. A and B therefore deter
mined to clothe themselves like ma
tives, and sit during the night, armed,
in the veranda, in the hopes they
might be able to get a shot at the
man-eater, who, they thought, might
probably return to the spot which
had already provided MIN with two
victims. They proceeded to carry
out this intention, and sat up till
about 2 or 3, O. clock a. M, but moth
ing appeared. A retired, and after en-
terlng his room had just closed the
window, and was gazing out for an in
slant, when he saw a dark mass land
in the veranda, right on his friend,
then heard soundsof scuffle, and a
cry Tor help. Selling his rifle, to
which sword bayonet was attached,
and flinging up the window, he rushed
out, III time to see B walking down
the steps that lead up to the veranda
alongside Of the tiger, with his hand
in the latter's mouth. A was afraid
to fire lest he should hit his friend, so,
running after him, he, with admirable
presence OF mind, went up to the tiger,
and, plunging his bayonet into the
animals body, at the same instant
fired. There was a roar and scuffle,
and B took advantage of the moment
to release his hand, and the tiger,
after tumbling, died. BIS hand was
terribly mauled.
